GLYCOSIDES OF CINNAMYL ALCOHOL FROM THE RHIZOMES OF Rhodiola rosea

Article abstract of DOI:10.1007/BF00579423

Three new cinnamyl alcohol glycosides have been isolated for the first time from the rhizomes of roseroot stonecrop Rhodiola rosea L. (Sedum rosea).On the basis of chemical transformations and the results of UV, IR, PMR, and mass spectroscopy the following structures are proposed for the compounds isolated: rozin - trans-cinnamyl O-β-D-glucopyranoside; rozavin - trans-cinnamyl O-(6'-O-α-L-arabinopyranosyl-β-D-glucopyranoside); and rozarin - trans-cinnamyl O-(6'-O-α-L-arabinofuranosyl-β-D-glucopyranoside).
